The Suicide Squad is not in a great place right now. All their secrets were leaked to the world. Then they got dumped into space. Then they got attacked by a parasitic alien monster. And then the mystery of what happened to the original Task Force X came back to haunt them. Yeah. It’s a weird place to be in, even if you are Harley Quinn.
